Aquarium Advice Regular
OK, first off, I was an idiot and not let my tank "fishless" cycle.
I found this board after the fact and, haven't lost a fish until just today. The tank is now roughly 5 weeks old. I've been testing my water and got a hugh Ammonia spike 9 days ago. (4.0) All fish survived the spike except I lost 1 today shortly after the water change. 8O
I've been doing 60% PWC every day now for the last 9 days. I did another 60% PWC about 5 hours ago, and tested again just now. My readings are just as they were before today's PWC:
Ammonia: .50
NO2: 5.0 or more
NO3: 10
When is everything suppose to level off? :?
I think after reading some of the posts, I may be just about there, but still not 100% sure yet.
